216 mm is available at the places below if JEJames don't have any.
216 is shorter than would be common - I take it that it's a rear hub motor?

If 2 spokes have broken, it's quite likely that some others are close to breaking too.
When you've replaced the spokes and straightened the wheel (if required), go round the wheel squeezing pairs of spokes together in the middle (squeeze hard, gloves required). Replace any new failures and go round squeezing again.
Squeezing the spokes briefly increases the tension well above normal, and makes subsequent fatigue failures less likely (it's called "stress relieving").
